At just over 950g for a cassette hubbed disc, the days of being concerned about weight are long since over. This disc is generally lighter than most aluminum rimmed "climbing" wheels and the low perimeter mass means that it accelerates very rapidly and maintains speed with ease. The Zipp hub system allows any disc to be either Shimano or Campagnolo compatible, either of them can be converted with a track axle kit for competition on the velodrome. The ultimate in adaptability.
Faster than a 3 spoke in any condition, faster than even our 404, the 808’s patent pending ABLC dimpled rim surface combined with a rim depth of 81mm simply humbles any racecourse. This is the best all around time trial wheelset available anywhere. The days of being blown around mercilessly on windy courses are over. The 808 provides almost as much speed a disc, without the potentially hazardous handling shortcomings. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the 808 is draft legal. That’s right, you can road race the 808, and it is legal in ALL triathlon applications.
Don't let those good looks fool you: the patent pending aerodynamically dimpled pattern is an extremely ruthless controller of air resistance that delivers an average gain of 1 to 4 watts of energy in very nearly all conditions and races. Triathlon, road racing, sprinting, time trials - you name it, 404 is the universal master that has earned its place as our top performer and the choice of elite cyclists everywhere.
Shimano’s new wheel design creates faster wheels for every type of high performance rider. A strategic balance of aerodynamics, lightweight, rigidity, compliance, comfort, durability, price and style – plus the manufacturing standards that have forged the Shimano legacy – yields Pro Tour and World Cup performance in everyday wheels.
A whole different dimension of smoothness. Ultra light weight clincher. Single day race, climbers, cyclocross wheel. Rigid, stiff, durable composite construction.
A faster, more compliant wheel with lower rolling resistance. Our most versatile wheel. Race, training, reliable everyday wheel. Ultra-rigid, durable.
Ultegra SL wheels offer proven technology based on the Dura-Ace WH-7850 wheels. The rear wheel uses a special wide flange hub design and an asymmetrical rim that results in additional stiffness and stability • Labyrinth and contact sealing - low-friction seals effectively shut out water, mud and dirt without affecting rotational smoothness.
Antique wheels where made of wood with spokes working in compression. The second generation appeared in the 19th century with drawn steel spokes working in traction. The revolutionary 3rd generation of wheels from Mavic features tubular carbon spokes working both in traction and in compression. Benefit: Lighter AND Stiffer.
Take the Ksyrium SL with all that makes it unique (different rim heights, carbon front hub, optimised rear dish, asymetrical rear rim...) and then lighten it even further with titanium.
Heinz Obermayer, inventor and designer of the world’s first all carbonfiber wheelset has developed a new groundbreaking set of wheels: Lightweight “Ventoux”. At only 1020g for the complete set this is the new mark others have to shoot for.
We wholeheartedly recommend our disc wheel for triathletes: Triathlon events are rarely held on flat courses, instead they come with hills, mountains, descents and tight inner-city sections. This is where Lightweight discs shine! On courses where you used to forego a disc wheel due to its higher weight, you can now enjoy our discs’ superior aerodynamics without regret.
If you like the performance of the MV32 T, but appreciate the convenience and simplicity of a clincher, the MV32 C is for you. Unlike most carbon clinchers that bond an aluminum rim to a carbon hoop, the MV32 C is a single, continuous piece of unidirectional carbon fiber material, with a carbon braking surface. That makes slowing and stopping smooth, positive, and vibration-free, while torque response is instantaneous and powerful. Another benefit: no aluminum shavings to invade brake pads and score the braking surface, and a vastly reduced possibility for delamination.
Shares most of the design and performance characteristics as the DV46C and DV46T, but with one important difference: high- modulus carbon fiber in the rim helps shave precious grams without sacrificing structural integrity. Not only can the DV46UL generate a higher top end than any other carbon wheel, its stiffness coefficient enables the rider to convert muscular effort into forward motion without wasted energy.
Cronometro has a long history of building top quality custom wheels. Some of the top teams of the Tour de France have entrusted their wheels to us. We offer a broad range of the best rims, hubs and spokes on the market. Feel free to come in and discuss your needs and we'll be happy to recommend the right ones for you.
